Your frustration is showing.  About this time of the year, many start hoping for winter and a good hard freeze.   The mid-west has been hit hard this year. 

Eileen, move to Arizona, we only worry about the heat here, and in the winter you don't have to shovel the sunshine.

Lenn,

Our weather this year has been rough. We've had about 5 perfect summer days! This past weekend our Air and Water Show was a "wash-out." The clouds were low, and the rain was heavy. Kinda hard to watch the Blue Angels. And we have more rain on the way!

And, I think, that this weather also affects many buyers. They may not recognize it...but, the heat is difficult to surmount when you're going in and out of air conditioned homes and cars. It's very wearing according to my Relo buyers.

Jim,

Arizona is great for visiting. But, actually, too much sun for me...and not enough water. I really liked Portland which is great for gardening. I suspect every area has weather problems. Think it must be global warming.

Today on "World News with Charles Gibson":

Midwest Under Water:
Throughout the Midwest, record rainfall has left hundreds fleeing and towns and countrysides underwater.

I was not exaggerating. Just glad we're far enough north to avoid hurricanes and tropical storms!
